About This Service
Prince Edward Island is one of Canada’s most stunning provinces — red-sand beaches, rolling farmland, historic lighthouses, and the legendary landscapes that inspired Anne of Green Gables. The best way to experience it is not on a fixed group tour bus, but in a private vehicle with a local driver who knows every back road, hidden viewpoint, and fishing village worth stopping at.
Charlottetown Taxi offers private half-day and full-day island tours, entirely customised to your interests. Tell us what you want to see — the North Shore’s national park, East PEI’s wild lighthouses, the Confederation Bridge, a lobster lunch in North Rustico — and we’ll build your perfect day on the Island.
Custom Private Tours
Every tour we run is private — just you, your group, and a knowledgeable local driver. There are no other passengers, no fixed group schedule, and no rush. You choose the stops, set the pace, and spend as long as you like at each location. If you spot something beautiful along the way, we pull over.
Not sure where to start? We’ll help you plan. Tell us your interests — beaches, history, lighthouses, food, photography — and our driver will suggest the best route for your time on the Island. From a focused 3-hour Charlottetown city tour to a full-day cross-island adventure, we make it happen.
Tour Options
Whether you have 3 hours for a focused North Shore loop or a full day to explore coast to coast, we have a tour that fits. Cruise passengers with a shore window, families spending a day on the Island, or visitors who want to do it all — we tailor the experience to the time you have.
A popular half-day North Shore loop covers Cavendish Beach, Green Gables Heritage Place, the PEI National Park, Brackley Beach, and North Rustico — approximately 3–4 hours from Charlottetown. A full-day island tour can extend east to Point Prim Lighthouse and Basin Head, or west to the Confederation Bridge and West Point Lighthouse, giving you a complete picture of everything PEI has to offer.
Tour Regions
Prince Edward Island divides into four distinct touring regions — each with its own landscape, landmarks, and character.
The Island’s most iconic touring region — red-sand beaches, the PEI National Park, and the world-famous Anne of Green Gables heritage. The most requested half-day loop from Charlottetown.
Wild, remote, and dramatic — East PEI features singing sands, red-rock shores, and Canada’s most-easterly lighthouses. A full-day extension or standalone adventure for the adventurous traveller.
Historic Charlottetown, the iconic Confederation Bridge, rolling farmland, and PEI’s western coastal wilderness. Ideal for history lovers, photographers, and families wanting the full Island picture.
How It Works
No account needed. No app required. Just a phone call or a quick form.
Reach us at +1 (782) 377-7533 or fill out our online booking form. Share your ship’s arrival or departure time and your destination or pickup location.
A team member confirms your booking within 5–30 minutes and assigns your driver. You’ll know exactly when and where to expect them.
For arrivals, your driver meets you at the pier. For departures, they’re at your door. All luggage loaded, all stress left behind.
We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance for cruise transfers, especially during peak season (July–September).
Pickup & Drop-off Locations
Staying in Cavendish, Summerside, or Stratford? No problem. We cover the whole Island for cruise port pickups and drop-offs — not just Charlottetown.
FAQ
Yes. Charlottetown Taxi offers private island tours across PEI — completely custom, half-day or full-day, with stops chosen entirely by you. There are no other passengers in your vehicle and no fixed group itinerary. Call +1 (782) 377-7533 or fill out our booking form to plan your tour.
Green Gables Heritage Place in Cavendish is approximately 40–45 minutes from Charlottetown by taxi, via Route 2 and Route 13. Charlottetown Taxi can take you directly with a waiting driver while you explore, or include Green Gables as one stop on a broader North Shore island tour that also covers Cavendish Beach, PEI National Park, and North Rustico Fishing Village.
The most requested stops on a PEI island tour are: Green Gables Heritage Place, Cavendish Beach, PEI National Park, Brackley Beach, North Rustico Fishing Village, Point Prim Lighthouse, Confederation Bridge, Dalvay-by-the-Sea, Covehead Lighthouse, The Dunes Studio Gallery & Café, Basin Head Provincial Park (Singing Sands), and East Point Lighthouse. Your driver can suggest the best combination for your available time.
Absolutely — this is one of our most popular bookings. We pick you up directly at the Port Charlottetown pier, take you on a custom island tour built around your available shore time (typically 4–8 hours), and return you to the ship before departure. The North Shore loop (Green Gables, Cavendish, National Park) fits perfectly in a 3–4 hour shore window. Pre-book before your ship docks for guaranteed availability.
Tour duration depends entirely on how many stops you want and how long you spend at each. A focused North Shore loop (Green Gables, Cavendish Beach, PEI National Park) typically takes 3–4 hours from Charlottetown. A full-day island tour covering North Shore and East PEI takes 6–8 hours. A Charlottetown city tour alone can be done in 1.5–2 hours. We work around your schedule.
